A man identified as Johnson Amos 48, from Ekpene Obo in Esit Eket, and his wife Uduak Johnson, have been accused of chaining and torturing their children after they were labelled a witch and wizard by a Pastor.


The Child Right And Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) came to the rescue of the children after they got an anonymous tip from a concerned citizen who feared that the kid might die of hunger and torture.

According to reports, the father hardly gave the kids food and water as punishment.

"We've not been going to school for more than a year now. My stepmom, Uduak Johnson took us to many churches to confirm whether we're witches or not but a pastor told her that we were not witches.

She said that the pastor is a liar. She took us to another church and the prophet there said we were witches. When I denied it she used stone and hit my head, blood-soaked my whole body and I fainted. " said twelve years old Abasiofon, a primary 4 female pupil of Government Primarily School, Iko Eket" the older son said

CRARN got a tipoff from an anonymous caller who pleaded with them to come immediately and rescue the children otherwise they'd die of hunger and torture.

"When we arrived their father and stepmother said they were prepared to go to jail instead of owning the "demonic children "

"Mr Amos, who currently lives in Iko Eket, in Eket Local Government Area, wrote a declamation denouncing his children. The case has been lodged with the Nigeria Police Force, Eket Area Command, while the two hapless kids have joined other kids in the shelter, the CRARN Children Centre, Eket."

Mr Johnson Amos in a written letter handed his children over to representatives of CRAN center to be registered at the Eket police station and be taken care of by CRAN staff.

Poor kids

in other world
This country no fair atall.

My uncle graduated with CGPA of 1.65 and up till now, he is still unemployed.


The cleaner job he was managing last year, the manager overheard him telling one of his colleague about the CGPA, and he was sacked immediately.

This is really unfair.

We need change.

I hope they kill him and the Pastor in his sleep. What kinda barbaric and inhumane act towards human is this ? His Children for that matter.

Illiteracy, haba

He should be put in jail forever and ever.

They should take him to Abacha barracks in Abuja for 2 weeks torturing
His life will never remain the same

Most Christians of this generation so gullible and lazy. This kind of thread is usually by a moslim or a satanist targeted at making more gullible Christians to fall away from their Faith and indirectly destroy the Church from inside out. Christians of this generation have grown so selfish and because of their lack of love/unity, the enemy is having a filled day decimating them. They forgot that what goes around would surely come arround, the killing and kidnapping of other Christians that they've refused to fight and reverse shall surely get to their own turn. Israel would have been wipped out by now if they've not been doing the needful to their enemies.

Nawa o
Stupid father!

So many questions unanswered....


One - Why are those with little ability for evil revealed as witches and wizards, while those with so much space in their minds to do evil -hell, they would have killed someone reading this piece, if not the fear of the law -- gladly showcase themselves heavenly perfect?

I just hate our style of religion.

One controversial rough looking dude or lady can just pick these kids and transform their lives (which is the WORKS the religions ought to do), while the religious tell us about hell.

Satan seems to know how to do good while "saints" busy themselves with "revelation" and judgement.

Apparently, many angels are going to hell.

useless father
useless pastor

Man will dominate man even to his injuries,signs of the last days

The man himself, is a witch .

This is One of the effects of believing whatever your pastors tell you. Even if he's wrong

Foolish man, how can you allow yourself to be brainwashed to that extent?

All these fake Pastors and stupid parents branding children witches.....

If God does not give you children now you will be crying upandan

Why always Akwa Ibom. Edo wey be winch headquarters no dey do this kind wickedness

Dumb father. If those pikin na truly witch, them for don kill you comot

Let me guess, this happened in Akwa Ibom right? Akpabio see your people.

Ban religion, Ban pastors

Even if children are witches, they didn't make themselves witches.

Someone must have initiated them and the children will not even know.

Instead of torturing them why not make effort to remove the witch in them if they are truly witches.

The man & his Pastor are wizard. They too need to be tortured. What nonsense
He will no go out and hustle, but chose to place his ill luck on the heads of innocent children.

What manner of nuisance is this? These pastors keep buttressing these actions instead of reprimanding it.

Why should person who call himself a "father" bask in the torture of his own children.

Soon as I saw the headline on frontpage. I muttered the words "Akwa Ibom."
Richest state with one of the most ignorant people!
Richly blessed with both natural resources and manpower, but have been improvished by both the Federal and state governemnt.
A state that receives hundreds of billion as allocation annually that cannot boast of 10 working industries. The only business that strikes around there is Church business who are professinals at seeing prophecies and labelling children witches/wizards and the only job oppurtunity - dirty politics infiltrated by cultist and godfatherism.
There is one I*diot here that I believe is on the state government's payroll, whose job is to propagate useless news of the government signing MOUs.

In a sane society both the man and the pastor would spend some time in the prison

some people are just so stupid

Poverty and ignorance breeds misdeeds like this. Pastors on the other hand capitalize on the desperation of these poor masses to give them fake prophecies and take the little money they have from them

the pastor must be a Yoloba man

Not to worry, they don't have tattoos
